What unit is vertical distance measured in on a treadmill?
The treadmills at my gym have an option to run at a desired incline. While I understand the concept of measuring vertical distance, I noticed that there is no specified unit of measurement for it. My workout metrics include time measured in minutes, distance in miles, and calories burned per hour, but vertical distance is simply presented as a number. Can anyone clarify what unit is used to measure vertical distance on a treadmill?

When you increase the angle of the treadmill you are still traveling the same distance (miles). You will just burn more calories because your body will be working harder.
